LOS ANGELES - Trailing 1-0 in the early going, the LMU women's soccer team scored three unanswered goals against visiting New Mexico State for a 3-1 victory in both teams' 2014 season opener Friday night at Sullivan Field.

Jocelyn Blankenship sent the corner kick form the left side into the 18-yard box where Taylor's header shot bounced off the cross bar and back into play.

Less than a minute later, Farley blasted a left-footed shot from beyond the left corner of the 18-yard box and into the far post netting.

Sophia Leksan earned the win in goal for the Lions while Taylor Ammack took the loss for NMSU, making five saves on the Lions' 18 total shots.
